Shortcodes are available for frontend display — see **Shortcodes** below, or the full list with a copy-paste-ready syntax on the plugin’s **Dashboard** page in wp-admin. ### Shortcodes * `[swimclma_groups_schedule program="competitive" season="2025-26"]` — training groups & weekly schedule (both attributes optional) * `[swimclma_competition_calendar season="2025-26"]` — upcoming competitions for a season * `[swimclma_equipment_catalog in_stock="1"]` — club equipment catalog with an “ order via email” form * `[swimclma_member_list program="competitive"]` — member list (visible to logged- in staff only) * `[swimclma_attendance_stats member_id="123"]` — one member’s attendance rate * `[swimclma_member_results member_id="123"]` — one member’s personal-best times, grouped by pool length, year and discipline ### Developer Notes **Autoloading** Classes are loaded via Composer’s PSR-4 autoloader (`vendor/autoload.php`), required once at the top of `swim-club-manager.php`. ``` composer.json maps the `SwimClub` namespace to three base directories: ``` * `SwimClub\` `includes/` * `SwimClub\Admin\` `admin/` * `SwimClub\Public\` `public/` Sub-namespaces map to subdirectories one-to-one, and the filename must match the class name exactly (PSR-4): * `SwimClub\PostTypes\Member` `includes/PostTypes/Member.php` * `SwimClub\Taxonomies\Age_Category` `includes/Taxonomies/Age_Category.php` * `SwimClub\DB\EquipmentOrders` `includes/DB/EquipmentOrders.php` * `SwimClub\Admin\Admin` `admin/Admin.php` * includes/Plugin.php (`SwimClub\Plugin`, the bootstrap singleton returned by ` swim_club_manager()`) wires up admin/public hooks, post types, taxonomies, shortcodes, and REST routes — each referenced class is autoloaded lazily when first instantiated, not eagerly required. **Admin controllers** ``` admin/Admin.php only handles enqueueing, menu registration, page-partial rendering, and meta boxes. Form/CRUD handling (the `admin_post_swimclma_*` actions) lives one-per-domain under `admin/Controllers/` (`SwimClub\Admin\Controllers\`) — `MemberController`, `GroupController`, `AttendanceController`, `CompetitionController`, `EquipmentController`, `EquipmentOrderController`, `MembershipFeeController`, `CompetitionEntryController`, `SettingsController`. Each exposes `save()` / `delete()` (and `update_status()` where relevant) and is wired directly to its `admin_post_*` hook in `Plugin::define_admin_hooks()`. They all extend the abstract `Controller` base class, which provides the shared nonce/capability guard helpers (`verify_nonce_or_die()`, `verify_request_nonce_or_die()`, `require_cap_or_die()`). ``` **Working with the code** * After pulling changes that add/rename/move a class, run `composer dump-autoload- o` to regenerate the optimized classmap in `vendor/`. * `vendor/` is committed and ships with the plugin — WordPress installs don’t run a Composer build step, so it must be present in the deployed copy. * Non-class files (admin partials, public partials, JS/CSS) are `include`d directly by the components that render them and are unaffected by autoloading. * Public-facing shortcode styles are written as Sass (`public/scss/`) — one BEM component per shortcode under `public/scss/components/`, shared tokens/mixins under `public/scss/abstracts/`, compiled to `public/css/public.css` via `npm install && npm run build:css` (or `npm run watch:css` while editing). Like `vendor/`,` public/css/public.css` is committed and ships with the plugin — regenerate it after any `.scss` change, since WordPress installs don’t run this build step either. It’s enqueued by `SwimClub\Public\PublicAssets::enqueue_styles()` (wired in `Plugin::define_public_hooks()`), which only loads it on pages whose content contains one of the plugin’s shortcodes. * `includes/Activator.php` and `includes/Deactivator.php` are autoloaded like everything else; they don’t need to be required manually before `plugins_loaded` since ` register_activation_hook()`/`register_deactivation_hook()` only invoke their callback once WordPress actually fires the (de)activation event, by which point the autoloader is already registered. ## Installation 1. Upload the `swim-club-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate through the Plugins menu 3.
